The first Mario game I ever played, Super Mario Land on the Nintendo GameBoy was released in 1989, and developed under the supervision of the legendary Gunpei Yokoi. It is an excellent, varied platformer with short shmup bits, that's been tailored both to the needs of gaming on the go, and to the GameBoy's humble hardware.

Happily, and before prices rise to ludicrous levels, you can buy a fully boxed, sealed copy of the game via this Super Mario Land (Game Boy)eBay auction. As is the case with all GameBoy cartridges this will happily run on any version of the handheld.
